The Big Strike Or.
New YoRK, Feb. 12,-When the fol-
lowing declaration OF District Assem-
bly, 40, that the strike was off, there
was a general rush of 'longshoremen
and freight handlers along the whole
river front this morning to get back to
work. At some of the piers along the
East river the strikers had not waited
for orders from headquarters, but had
gone back to work on the best terms
they could make. As early as 6
O'Clock gangs of strikers we're seen
around the piers waiting to catch the
foremen and superintendent as they
came to their respective piers. AT
the Maine Steamship Company's
pier all the old hands had returned.
At the Clyde, Mallory and Ward
piers, many of the old hands had
found their way back, but in no in
stance were they recognized as
Unionists. By Monday it is expected
the business OF the companies will
have resumed normal shape.

Lyons. sweeping everything before it.
